“As I enter my third decade in the wool bedding business, I look back with a lot of fondness to the many good folks with whom Tim and I have connected. I am grateful for the many loyal supporters that have returned to us time and again. I am happy that our daughter Ellen and son Thomas have begun the process of making Shepherd’s Dream their own. I believe the business will be in very capable hands going forward.”
